OAKLAND – Steve Kerr knows his team was far from the one that won 73 regular-season games, much less who won their first two games of NBA Finals at home last week.

Kerr acknowledged that the defense of his Golden State Warriors allowed any number of freedoms around Cleveland Cavaliers who came to die in the line, in order to survive in the series.

“If you play defense like we played for three quarters, it is very likely that in the last period and your opponent have to walk just to win,” admitted Kerr, after they lost 112-97 against the Cavaliers at home.

And if their defensive problems adds that neither had their best night attack, the situation is further complicated.

The Warriors had their worst shooting average of basketed field all current postseason, just .364, just above its lowest mark of the regular season, which was .362 in defeat they suffered in Detroit in January .

Overall, Golden State scored only three sopranos in the second half.
Andre Iguodola scored 15 points and 11 rebounds, along with Curry and Thompson being the only ones in double digits offensive Warriors.

“I still like our position than theirs,” Kerr said. “But we have to analyze well the party, avoid some mistakes and play with intensity. You went there last year and got the win. Will you try to do the same.”
